The History of Scotland

I found this to be a perfectly adequate overview of the history of Scotland. There is plenty of material to form a basis of further study

A truly thorough, yet concise history, it relates information about economy. industry, agriculture, population, education, and government as well as the usual military history. A discussion of Scottish attitudes and ideas is also documented.

A good intro to Scottish history & easy to read or listen to. Non-fiction that begins in the early 400's AD & continues to modern times. It includes some info about Roman empire rule.

Well written, full of famous characters and sites. Each of the events that occurred during the history of Scotland is extremely detailed. Can be a real page turner, very hard to put down. Some of history is sad, painful but then most history is that way. Great tour guide for anyone waiting ti Visit the sites where it all happened. A lot of deep info to be had. Great amount of research went into this book. Would recommend to others.

I love the work by the History Nerds and this was no exception. Scotland is close to my heart as it's part of my ancestry and knowing where one's and what one's ancestors had done for part of it to arrive here in me. Fascinating.

This is not an enjoyable book to listen to. Unless you want a hurried recitation of names, dates, and places, this book is a waste of time. Essentially, you will be told the "what" of Scottish history but nothing about the "why." For example, you are told that the nation and economy built by Robert the Bruce after gaining Scottish independence. There is no discussion of how it was built or why it failed so utterly after his death. Additionally, historical figures exist as names only. You will never hear of why the Bruces or any other people are important or what motivated them. Please, find a better source for learning about Scottish history.

Received book for a voluntary review Good overview of Scottish history. Provided names of significant leaders, and names of significant locations. Easy to read and understand. Enjoyed the book.
